Cpl. Michael Kean, a landing support specialist with Combat Logistics Regiment 45, discusses the instructions for the day with a fellow Marine during Integrated Training Exercise 4-14 June 16, 2014. ITX 4-14 is a cornerstone of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force Training Program and is the largest annual Marine Corps Reserve training exercise that helps sharpen skills for Reserve units. ITX employs assets from ground, air and logistics combat elements to demonstrate the ability to deploy rapidly and build up significant combat power necessary to form a MAGTF. Kean hopes to one day become a Marine officer after gaining more experience leading Marines as a noncommissioned officer.
